Would this mask prevent you from contracting Ebola? (I do know that I would need some type of eye protection as well like goggles)

Yes I can as long as the fit is tight ,goggles or face shield to prevent any other airborne particles , blood , spit, vomit

The filter might but the mask WILL NOT. It's a partial face mask. I would not expose myself with anything less than a Full coverage mask - because I am inexperienced in biological isolation techniques and practices. All you people out there who are panicking and thinking that you should be buying this stuff, you are wasting your time without proper instruction in how to utilize and maintain your equipment. Improper, inadequate, or non-existent training is as good as no mask at all.

Yes, it will protect you from breathing contaminated air, including Ebola, if a strain were to ever mutate and become airborne. You will also need to protect your body, from head to foot, from bodily fluids as with the current strain of Ebola we are hearing about. Pick up an extra set of filters too...

First, Ebola is not an airborne virus, so no mask is required as a preventative. Second, this mask is a microbial preventative, but not a viral preventative as far as I know. It only filters up to .3 microns and I think most viruses are smaller than that. If you are only concerned in regard to clean-up, for example, any old mask will do. But if you are worried about catching Ebola, you just don't need a mask.

Yes, just make sure you wear appropriate eye, head, and body protective gear!

This mask would also protect your eyes from flying debris as well as breathing without inhaling various chemicals.

Hi, Yes it is possible to wear eye protection with them I wear eye protection when I use them all the time. I also found that they work well. Hope this helps

I would get some. I didn't personally play with this mask, bought it as an extra and my brother had a very bad experience with fog. So any drops recommended.

Just tried it- no problem with "ear muffs", Only problem- mask does not accommodate glasses, otherwise good mask

No, this will not protect you against a zombie apocalypse as zombies are not created through airborne particles. You need a different kind of protection that would protect you from bites, scrapes, etc... it might help if you smashed a zombie in the head with the filter but there are many other tools to help you in those situations. I HIGHLY recommend this kit from Gerber for better protection: http://www.gerbergear.com/Apocalypse/Gear/Apocalypse-Kit_30-000601Good luck, and remember... don't stare at the flowers. ;)

No, Just the mask. What looks like goggles are a mesh screen that impedes vision.

Goggles, no. With sunglasses I just wear them a little forward resting on the mask to avoid fogging up.

there really is no eye relief beyond the rubber cup that seals to your eye, so practically speaking, using goggles without modifying or removing the eye cup wouldnt work, and modifying the eye cup would let the glow from the tube out the back .. it would be like a green flashlight on your face ..

This one won't cause that problem so long as your glasses are still fitted properly. The mask itself seals against the face completely unless you fail to secure the straps properly, get to large of a size, have facial hair that prevents a proper seal or have a facial structure that is abnormal in shape.

Likely. My sons are wearing goggles and a mesh face mask. Guess it would depend on if your mask covers the forehead area.

I'm not a qualified health worker but can answer this question from a common knowledge basis. The Ebola virus is not an airborne virus. It is transmitted by direct contact. Per the WHO, "Ebola ...spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids." So, generally this respirator will not directly defend or protect one from the Ebola virus. However, it can provide secondary or indirect protection. Wearing the respirator will protect the mouth, nose and parts of the face from exposure to or contact with infected hands or other body parts or body fluids/blood. This is the best response that I can give. I recommend contacting qualified health care workers for more information.

It does not impair vision. It mounts between your eyes and you have a full field of vision. It is worn with googles, not a swim mask. It is typically worn in a pool for swimming laps.

I used to do some wood carving with rotary tools. This got wood dust flying everywhere. I would say this mask isn't the best to protect against the wood dust either. None got in my eyes but when I took the mask off after a while because of fogging I noticed there were bits of wood dust settled inside the goggles. And of course with enough wood dust settling in the goggles it would have eventually caused me to lose a certain amount of vision.

It can I put any eye protection on the mask so it's not to badI do use it in construction

You can loosen the goggles to make them less "suctiony" but the plastic seal may still be more suction than you want. It would definitely be worth a try. The mask is easy to adjust.
